THIRD LEG

After a long stay in Wells, partly due to re-charging batteries, catching up with family and strong winds from the North, we set off for Lowestoft. It was an early start and although we had plenty of water to get out over the Wells bar it was all a bit nerve wracking, and we both felt a bit gippy. We get out and head East but its 1.30 before we can put a sail up. She sails really well in quite heavy seas, but with gusts and lulls of wind, shallow and confused seas, we decide to go back to the engine at 5.00pm til we reach Lowestoft at 8.15pm. An exhausting and long day, as soon as we are sorted out, we head into town for a fish and chip supper, but make the mistake of asking a local the way to a good chippy. We follow him at a stiff walk for 10 mins to be told the chippy was another 10 mins further on as he ducked into an off licence! We promptly turn around and head for the first Indian restaurant and come to the conclusion he just wanted company whilst he walked to get more booze!! A full on day, and we are strating to believe the weather is conspiring against us!
